Larkin named National League MVf
□ Larkin is the first
shortstop to win the
award in 33 years.
NEW YORK (AP) — Barry
Larkin was the surprise choice
as NL Most Valuable Player on
Wednesday, beating out Dante
Bichette and Greg Maddux to
become the first shortstop to
win the award in 33 years.
Maddux, who won his fourth
straight Cy Young Award this
week, and Bichette, who led the
league in home runs and RBIs,
were considered the leading can
didates.
But rather than pitching or
power, voters clearly looked at
the all-around contributions
Larkin made on and off the field
to the NL Central champion
Cincinnati Reds, and made him
a convincing choice.
Larkin hit .319 with 66 RBIs
and 51 steals, is likely to win
his second straight Gold Glove
next week and was the team’s
clubhouse leader. He was also
the Reds’ best player in the
postseason, although that per
formance is not considered in
the selection.
Larkin, who was on a
cruise in Mexico when the
award was announced, re
ceived 11 first-place votes and
finished with 281 points.
Bichette, whose 40 homers
and 128 RBIs led Colorado to
a wild-card playoff spot, got
six first-place votes and had
251 points.
Maddux, 19-2 with a 1.63
ERA for the World Series
champion Atlanta Braves, got
seven first-place votes and 249
points. He is the first pitcher to
finish as high as'third in the NL
MVP voting since Los Angeles
reliever Mike Marshall in 1974.
“If you look at sheer num
bers, there are guys who have
more homers and RBIs,” Reds
second baseman Bret Boone
said. “But it’s nice to see people
look at ‘most valuable.’ He was
really great on our team. He
was our leader.”
Dodgers catcher Mike Piazza
was fourth, getting three first-
place votes and 214 points. The
top four finishers were named
National League MVP

on every ballot by members of
the Baseball Writers Associa
tion of America. Ron Gant,
Larkin’s teammate, received the
only other first-place vote.
Larkin is the first NL short
stop to win the award since
Maury Wills in 1962, the season
he stole a then-record 102
bases. He is the sixth shortstop
to win the honor, joining Ernie
Banks (1958-59), Dick Groat
(1960) and Marty Marion
(1944).
Larkin is the first Reds
player to be named MVP since
George Foster in 1977 and 11th
overall. Joe Morgan, Pete Rose
and Johnny Bench also won in
the 1970s.
Along with leading
league in homers and
Bichette was third in battingi
.340. Some voters, howeve:
may have discounted his 1
numbers because he played
hitter-friendly Coors Field.
Maddux, whose winning pei
centage was the best in histoi
for starters with at least 20 de
cisions, had the highest fi
for a starting pitcher since
Seaver was runner-up in 19
The last pitcher to win thel
MVP was Bob Gibson in
when he had a 1.12 ERA,am
some Voters have been reluctan:
to give the award to a pitcher.
